Team Falcons will welcome s1mple to their team for a month to compete in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown replacing BOROS.
Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev is back in action playing for Team Falcons. The Ukrainian replaces Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas, who was placed on the bench.
Falcons announce that s1mple will join on loan from Natus Vincere for one month. The player will compete for the team in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown.
s1mple to debut in CS2
Counter-Strike fans expected the legendary player to return only after the Major, as he said. However, unexpectedly, s1mple is back temporarily to play for the Saudi organization Team Falcons. During the break period, the player worked on other projects.
He arrives at the organization after the campaign was below expectations in the RMR. The super team, coached by Danny "Zonic" Sørensen, fell by the wayside at RMR with a 1-3 record, missing out on the first CS2 Major. The result already brings about changes in the Saudi organization.
"We have moved BOROS to the bench position for performance reasons as we look to rebalance the formation of our roster and move players into the necessary correct roles and positions".
In addition to the player, Rafael "Feldman" Rodriguez, the team's assistant coach, also left the organization.
When will s1mple debut for the Falcons?
The Falcons will debut with s1mple at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown on March 6. The team has not yet met its opponent. However, the Falcons are looking to grab one of the spots in the Spring Final. In the competition are some notable squads, such as Team Liquid, Team Spirit, Cloud9, Complexity, Heroic, SAW, and Ninjas in Pyjamas.
The player's future is still undefined despite this period in the Saudi organization. It is hoped that there will not be a role conflict with Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia, the team's AWPer, a role that s1mple played in CS:GO. However, the Ukrainian, on his way to the Natus Vincere bench, demonstrated that he was open to offers as a rifler after his break period.
